About Marvin Blackmore Pottery

Marvin Blackmore was born in Farmington, New Mexico; at the age of 7 his family moved to Cortez, Colorado, where he was raised in the heart of Southwestern art. Being exposed to many various forms of art allowed Blackmore to escape a difficult childhood. Throughout the years he has mastered the art of pottery and is always innovating new ideas.
His pottery reflects multiple layers of clay slips in which he etches through to each wanted layer. The smallest of pieces takes a minimum of 130 hours.
